Specific embodiment
The present invention is more specifically described by way of example referring to attached drawing in the following passage.It is wanted according to following explanation and right Book is sought, advantages and features of the invention will become apparent from.It should be noted that attached drawing is all made of very simplified form and using non- Accurately ratio, only for the purpose of facilitating and clarifying the purpose of the embodiments of the invention.
Figures 1 and 2 show that etching mask 10(of the invention hereinafter referred to as " mask ").Show from the side of the mask 10 It is intended to it is observed that the mask 10 includes three layers from bottom to up, respectively first flexible substrate 11,12 and of the first adhesion layer Patterned structures layer 13, patterned structures layer 13 pass through the first adhesion layer 12 and 11 close adhesion of first flexible substrate.Graphically Structure sheaf 13 is alternatively arranged by a plurality of minor structures 131 and is formed, and minor structure 131 rule or can be irregularly spaced apart from and be arranged in In first flexible substrate 11.In the manufacturing process of LED, usual minor structure 131 is regularly arranged in first flexible substrate 11, And 131 size of minor structure, shape are identical, and the figure of minor structure 131 is MESA pattern in the present embodiment.First flexible substrate 11 Material can select silica gel, gel gelatin, polyethylene terephthalate, polyethylene naphthalate, poly- carbonic acid Any one in ester, polyether sulfone, polyimides or soft glass plastics, preferred silica gel in the present embodiment;First adhesion layer 12 Material can use resin adhesive, especially epoxy resin adhesive;The material of patterned structures layer 13 can be using not Active metal, torpescence metal alloy, torpescence metal oxide, torpescence metal nitride or torpescence metallic carbide Object may further be selected any one in chromium, nickel, copper, ferromanganese, ferrochrome, zirconium oxide, silicon nitride, silicon carbide etc. Kind, preferred chromium in the present embodiment.Wherein, due to the material of patterned structures layer 13 and the first adhesion layer 12 and first flexible substrate 11 Material differs greatly, when using mask 10 carry out dry etching when, maximum etching selectivity can be obtained, make dry etching etc. Gas ions perform etching first flexible substrate 11 and the first adhesion layer 12, and to the etching degree very little of patterned structures layer 13 Or it does not etch.
Fig. 3 ~ 8 show a kind of method using above-mentioned etching mask 10 production LED, and this method process includes following step It is rapid:
1) epitaxial wafer 20 is provided, which includes at least substrate 21, and stacks gradually in the N-type on substrate 21 Layer 22, luminescent layer 23 and P-type layer 24;
2) above-mentioned etching mask 10 is placed in 20 surface of epitaxial wafer, specific 10 structure of etching mask is as described above;
3) etching mask 10 and epitaxial wafer 20 are performed etching using dry etching, removal is not covered by patterned structures layer 13 The first flexible substrate 11 of lid, the first adhesion layer 12 and part N-type layer 21;
4) one second adhesion layer 15 and second flexible substrate 14 are successively covered on patterned structures layer 13, are formed and is inverted Etching mask 10, to inverted etching mask 10 apply pressure for a period of time after, apply external force carry out removing removal;
5) cleaning step 4) in the remaining first flexible substrate 11 and the first adhesion layer 12, form graphical extension Piece;
6) electrode structure 25 is made in graphical 20 surface of epitaxial wafer, and forms a plurality of LED by cutting separation.
In the manufacturing process of LED, etching mask 10 makes flexible base board 11 and patterned structures layer 13 by adhesion layer 12 It is adhered to each other, guarantees that the position of 13 figure of patterned structures layer is accurate, minor structure 131 therein is prevented to be subjected to displacement.And After the second adhesion layer 15 and second flexible substrate 14 are successively covered in patterned structures layer 13 in step 4), inverted quarter is formed Mask 10 is lost, applies the external force of certain time to it, it is therefore an objective to make the second adhesion layer 15 and second flexible substrate 14 and graphical 13 tight adhesion of structure sheaf guarantees to remove patterned structures layer 13 when subsequent external force is removed.In another embodiment party In formula, certain temperature, the second adhesion layer of enhancing 15 and second flexible substrate 14 and figure are heated to inverted etching mask 10 Change the adhesiveness of structure sheaf 13.Inverted etching mask 10 after removing is by after overturning, it can as next epitaxial wafer The mask graphically made, etching mask 10 is recycled.Wherein, epitaxial wafer 20 includes at least the lining stacked gradually Bottom 21, N-type layer 22, luminescent layer 23 and P-type layer 24, epitaxial wafer 20 can also include the transparency conducting layer positioned at 24 surface of P-type layer, Such as indium tin oxide layer.The size of etching mask 10 is more than or equal to the size of substrate 21, can so guarantee to pass through dry etching Method the figure of etching mask 10 is accurately transferred on epitaxial wafer 20, form graphical epitaxial wafer 20.Substrate 21 is plain film Perhaps patterned substrate material is sapphire, silicon, silicon carbide, glass or gallium nitride to substrate, and preferred economy is real in the present embodiment Graphical sapphire substrate.When carrying out dry ecthing using etching mask 10, be patterned the covering of structure sheaf 13 first is soft Property substrate 11, the first adhesion layer 12 and part N-type layer 22 can not be bombarded by plasma (in Fig. 5 shown in arrow), and not by Its 11 first adhesion layer 12 of first flexible substrate covered and part N-type layer 22 are then successively etched by plasma bombardment, from And the figure of etching mask 10 is accurately transferred in N-type layer 22.Chemical solution or organic solvent can be used in step 5) Remaining the first adhesion layer 12 and first flexible substrate 11 after cleaning dry etching.The structure of specific etching mask 10 is for example above-mentioned Described, details are not described herein again.
Referring to attached drawing 9, the present invention also provides a kind of LED made by the above method, include at least and stack gradually Substrate 21, N-type layer 22, luminescent layer 23, P-type layer 24 and electrode structure 25.The light emitting diode can also be on 24 upper layer of P-type layer Folded transparency conducting layer.
LED is made using above-mentioned recycling etching mask 10, saves gluing in conventional photolithography, exposure, development Step, it is only necessary to etching mask 10 is placed on epitaxial wafer 20 and expected MESA pattern can be obtained by dry etching, it is convenient Fast, cost is saved.
It should be understood that above-mentioned specific embodiment is the preferred embodiment of the present invention, the scope of the present invention is not limited to The embodiment, all any changes done according to the present invention, all within category protection scope of the present invention.
